Quick question for people who still watch TV news: is there any obsession with the Shumaker/Morgan/Dotson recoveries?

Posted by Beryllium (aka grayman) Jun 25 '14, 21:01

Seems like when I was a kid, there would've been constant coverage ... Maybe I'm remembering wrong. Or maybe celebrity culture has changed?

Responses:

There was huge coverage of Tracy Morgan for several days, not much on the others. - GregW Jun 25, 21:31
It's the dilution of celebrity. Head injuries are much too insignificant in our 24 hour news culture. -- nm - Mop on iPad Air Jun 25, 21:24
(someone who does not watch TV news): what? who? how? - ty97 Jun 25, 21:03 5
- Michael Schumaker has a major head injury. Tracy Morgan got hit by a semi. Dan Dotson (storage wars auctioneer) - double brain aneurism. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 25, 21:09 4
  - I had no idea about Schumaker (but if not for Cars, I might never have known the name). -- nm - Spawnaldo Jun 25, 21:10 3
    - I knew the name, but I still confuse it with Shoemaker-Levy 9 :-) -- nm - Beryllium Jun 25, 21:17 2
      - F- that thing. -- nm - Jupiter Jun 25, 21:18 1
